Locale not changing in signed apk
I have an android app which contains of 4 languages,i.e. English, Hindi, Gujrati and Marathi.
I have 4 strings file in my res folder and when I run the code in debug mode directly to my device it works great. But when i sign the apk and post it on playstore and try to download that it doesn't work.
This is my code for setting the locale :
public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public SharedPreferences sharedpreferences;
public static final String MyPREFERENCES = "MyPrefs";
@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
sharedpreferences = getSharedPreferences(MyPREFERENCES, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String lang = sharedpreferences.getString("lang","en");
System.out.println("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : "+lang);
Locale locale = new Locale(lang);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
}
}
I extend this BaseActivity to all activities I use.
So I am not able to figure out the issue why it is working fine in debug and not in the signed apk.

Use
getApplicationContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
getApplicationContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
instead of
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
Because
getApplicationContext() - Returns the context for all activities
running in application.
and
getBaseContext() - If you want to access Context from another context
within application you can access.
